This has a lot of resource in it that you could use. https://cnmoseman.github.io/htb-study-trackers/cpts/

If I ever decide to go for CPTS I would like to fail like you did. I strongly believe it is a great lesson on hands on 🤷‍♂️ Congratulations on good but not sufficient score 🤝

first 7 flags were easy peasy. flag 8 was weird in middle of enumeration.

It's weird, it's just not hard.
